Patch sourced from http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=218291&action=diff&context=patch&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw and known to work with the SRPM locally.

Description of problem:
(Lifted from the Gentoo bugzilla, not my original report, but accurately describes the issues):

As by version 1.1.29 anyterm doesn't honor HTTP/1.0 client requests
and will spam them with chunked responses.

This results in incompatibility with both lighttpd and nginx
since both expect a HTTP/1.0 compatible response.

With the attached patch the missing support is added and anyterm can
be used on the above servers (via mod_proxy) as well as non-HTTP/1.1 clients.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge anyterm with the default configuration (localhost, port 7676)
2. setup lighttpd or nginx to proxy request to the above host:port
3. try to open the proxied anyterm in your browser

Actual Results:  
lighttpd:  displays a plain '0'
nginx: displays part of the response header + '0'

Expected Results:  
A usable anyterm window should appear.

You should bring this up in the Anyterm forum. Post the patch and description there so that phil can take a look at it and we'll see what happens. (Post the URL for the thread here.)

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 14:35:29 UTC 
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
